hurricane ike in richmond

Yesterday afternoon we got a bit of Hurricane Ike. Of course we're landlocked here in Indiana, but it was some serious wind. I heard someone call it a "Category 1 Dry Hurricane." The power blinked off briefly at the house, but it sounded like others lost their power longer than that. In Dayton, Ohio, some thousands of people are still without power, and could be for at least another week. I drove through the storm, and just about every street I passed had a tree blown down. And they weren't little trees either. I don't think there's such a thing as a dry hurricane, but if it did, I'd say we got one.

Here are some photos of the more extensive damage from the local newspaper's website. More photos can be found here.
